The Hollywood power couple have enlisted the British chef to ensure this year’s festivities go flawlessly

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a pair who like to plan early. They’ve already secured the culinary creativity of chef Jamie Oliver to prepare their Christmas dinner and it’s a long three months until the big day!

Any hopes to spend the 25 December on the beach have been shelved though as Jamie won’t be jetting to Hollywood. Instead he’ll be cooking up a storm in the actors’ Surrey mansion. And he won’t be solo in the kitchen, it’s believed he’ll be ‘helping out’ rather than doing everything – no doubt Brad and Angelina’s many staff will be on hand too.

A source told The Sun: ‘Jamie will be heading to their Surrey mansion to help prepare Christmas dinner.

‘Brad asked him to do it after he begged Jamie for cookery lessons last year. Jamie tried to teach him but he’s useless in the kitchen.’

The 48-year-old star enlisted the help of the Brit because he’d prefer to dine at home, instead of at a restaurant. And it’s not hard to see why, it’s hardly an easy operation taking six children plus nannies and minders out for food.

Jamie’s addition to the Jolie-Pitt staff comes after a long friendship between the two men, they’ve been friends since the actor was married to Jennifer Aniston.

We imagine Jamie will ensure the food is pucker!
